OER Why it matters
OER What is that?
(2010) FAQ on OER The OTTER (Open, Transferable and Technology-enabled Educational Resources) project at the University of Leicester was funded by both JISC and the Higher Education Academy
UNESCO/COL
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs range from textbooks to curricula, syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio, video and animation.
Ossiannilsson_SIDA014
UNESCO/COLCOL-UNESCO defines OER as: The phenomenon of OER is an empowerment process, facilitated by technology in which various types of stakeholders are able to interact, collaborate, create, and use materials and pedagogic practices, that are freely available, for enhancing access, reducing costs, and improving the quality of education and learning at all levels
